Review on πŸš— Latest Android 10 Double Din Car Stereo, Eonon 8 Inch Car Radio for Chevrolet/GMC/Buick, GPS Navigation Radio with Split Screen/Built-in Apple Carplay/DSP -GA9480B by Chad Myers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Plug-n-Play basically.

I've had several Android decks and none were as advanced as this one, nor were they specifically designed to replace the original OEM stereo. This deck has pros and cons Pros: Large HD touchscreen Lots of networking options Sounds good but see cons Mounts present but see cons Steering wheel controls work OEM camera works without installing the ones that come with the kit The OEM GPS The antenna works if you Buy a third party antenna cable adapter, Fakra Z male to SMA male - I got it from Revain. Can connect a USB hard drive for on-the-go video, which can also be connected to an existing OEM ceiling-mounted video display. Netflix and some other video apps also work. , but, see cons Apple CarPlay works, but, see cons Cons The CAN box distributes the rear sound incorrectly, making the rear volume lower than it should be and the rear speaker fader control doesn't work . Sound is present but somewhat distorted. When switching between some sources, the volume varies greatly. I/E between radio and CarPlay etc. In general, the system lags behind, especially when calling up video applications. Some video apps don't work like HBO Max. The app installs and you can see the content, but it doesn't play. Just black screen when pressing the play button. The screen mirroring feature doesn't work with my iPhone. It looks like he wants to work, but he doesn't. I haven't found a way to change the home screen layout to get rid of the icons that I don't use that often. I haven't found a way to limit the brightness of the panel LEDs, which would be a great option. It fits into place, but this causes the top of the fairing to curve slightly. I think this deck should have 4GB RAM instead of 2GB and an OCTACORE processor. I could go back to this deck for one with a better processor, but then the same plug-n-play options might not apply.

Pros
  • Car Electronics
Cons
  • Something else
